E39 engine swap

[Jammydob69]

I'm sure it's been done to death on here but I've got an e39 engine and box kicking about it's out of a 523.so I'm planning to drop it in to replace my 1.8. I've got engine and loom etc. What other bits should I be on the hunt for to complete the conversion and also the fuel pipes have just been chopped is there a neat solution to connecting to existing. Thanks
